She was only a child. She felt in her heart she'd done something terrible. Without knowing she'd let herself be moved, manipulated, and used to fullfill the deeds of another. Her stomach crept up into her throat.
She dropped the sword, now keenly aware of how badly it was tearing up her hands, the clatter of the blade echoing passed the silence that turned since the Emperor's final word.
"Tyrsis? Your servant? I don't think so, fucker. Cyrus. You'll have to take care of Tyrsis...I hope you know what you need to do."
Emillia knew, in her stomach, she'd be no match for the Emperor. He'd kill her as easily as if she was fighting him with twigs. She was good, but she wasn't that good. Instead, she went to repay a deed.
Icewind barring none, it was no more than an instant to go from where she was to up in the air by the wall where Kenji's blood stained the wall. With a loud "herg!" sound she spun kicked the wall where a crack already formed, using the weak point in the wall to break out a chunk from which she dove through. It only took her seconds to reach the ground, and break the four guards that had the boy surrounded where he lay. She surprised them with a flash of wings, and a brighter flash of light.
"SOLAR FLARE!" Lessons, now brought to light. The guards were stunned, but not blinded, for they lived with their Emperor, and he had them used to bright lights. But it bought her the few seconds she needed to grab and go. She hefted Kenji up onto her shoulder, though her body sagged under his weight, he wasn't too much of a burden for her. He was enough of a hinderence to not allow her to fly. The guards approached her, spears out and ready to stab her.
Luckily, she knew Cyrus wasn't as fast as he would like to believe, as tired as he was feeling at the moment, and she tagged him, pressing two fingers to her forhead and disappeared in a conflaguration of staticy lines. She reappeared at his side.
The foundations of disallowance were broken with the formation of two portals in one day. Emi only took a moment to eye the portal that was left for them, and her gut didn't trust it.
Emotions were still a powerful things, but as pissed off as Emi was, she had a bit of control. There was a way out, and no one could stop her from doing it. With her free hand she grabbed Cyrus' arm and pulled him over to her. There was just a fraction of a second's hesitation before she kissed him on the lips, and the five of them, including the sword, vanished from sight in a gentle swirl of spiralled gold and silver energy. The energy of the divine, with Emillia touching Cyrus, Cyrus holding Tyrsis, and the near dead form of Kenji over Emillia's shoulders, the only hitchhiker was the spectre. The sword followed Cyrus of it's own volition, Emillia had no control of that.
When they reappeared, it was dark, but it was safe. Their sudden appearence put them in a place where only a fool might try to come after them. Tiny domes appeared, as well as an arrise of small mipps echoed over walls.
Aphrodite was on her feet, a null dome encircling them, and her brood. She was surprised, and her teeth were bared.
============================================================
Garnet eyes turned to ruby. A silent understanding between two minds.
"Go."
And he went.
